West End Water Fountain

This is very special and as many people as possible should be supporting it. The West End Brewery have a small outlet on Port Road where you can fill your water container with fresh limestone filtered water — about as fresh and clean as you will get it around the State of South Australia.
Once you could just fill up your water bottle for free but at the start of this century the realisation that a significant resource was being given away while it could be used to raise money for charity brought the Charity aspect into play. West End and members of the community formed a board of directors or a trust and started to ask for a donation from those who were drawing water from the vast well. Fair is fair; so people continued to stop here to get some water — often to fill their large ten litre containers, so it is not just a litre or two people stop for, meaning you are still getting a bargain — great water for next to nothing — but now the small donation you give goes into a fund and that fund is disbursed a few times a year via application and assessment.
There are a variety of charities that have benefited from the water fountain and the website explains how you and your community organisation can apply for the funds as well.
